2005 journey 36G house battery wiring

[neub]

Currently our 36g has 4 6volt batteries for house batteries which need replacement. Would like to go to 3 group 31 12v ago batteries like it was originally equipped. Was wondering if anyone could post a photo or diagram of the 3 12v wiring of batteries. Am also going need to replace the battery cables since from the current setup. Thanks, randy

I think we have that but one question is not clear, so to be checked?
This drawing set:

There is a note (bubble) for an option 13X. Down in the lower right corner of the drawing it tells us that option is for an inverter? But there is no option I see for no inverter? Can we assume you DO have an inverter, making this wiring correct as shown?
Sometimes they leave us hanging a bit!

This looks to be correct as far as I can see. But I rarely trust much of anything any more!

Basic idea is that you should have three batteries for the coach items, all placed on the rack the same direction. I used black for negative to make it a bit easier to follow!

Starting at the big buss bar on the frame, a cable goes out to the outside battery, then cables from that negative post to the other negatives! From that closest battery negative post, they show two cables going to the to the inverter charger. Not showing where those land on the inverter?

Then on the positive, you need a cable from the inverter charger point that is not noted. Likely marked which goes where on that end?
Cable to big fuse holder, then other cables to connect fuse to all the positive posts and one to run to the solenoid they called "aux start solenoid" at that time. I think this is the big solenoid which is called "mode solenoid" at other times?
If not familiar with that solenoid, I think it will be under a panel out front with a label?
This drawing has info on where the battery cable lands on the large posts of the solenoid:
https://www.winnebago.com/Files/Files/Winnebago/Resources/Diagram/2005/05_p-ser_wire_148556.pdf sheet two for location and which big posts for the battery cables from chassis and coach!

See if that gets you where you need and shout back if we can lend some guesses??
With reading drawings and DIY info, I never know if I get there until I DO get there!
Wish you luck on the trek!

You might want to check the total usable Amp Hours you will end up with when going from four 6 Volt golf cart batteries to three 12 Volt marine deep cycle batteries. Depending on what batteries you want to go to, you may have less usable power. I went the opposite direction from three marine deep cycle batteries to four 6 Volt golf cart batteries and doubled my usable power.

Your house battery bank should be wired like the black ones(you'll have only 3) in this picture from The 12V side of life:

My coach came with 2 group 31 12v batteries when new. I went to 4 6v GC2 batteries to gain more amp hours. But after 13 years, a couple of replacements, battery cleanup and watering got to me. So, I went back to 2 12v AGM Solar batteries, with 150ah each last summer. Enough amp hours for our needs, no more clean-up, and were a cheaper replacement when on sale, with my miltary discount from Home Depot.
